Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was born in a small, rural town in the southern Netherlands, the son of a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church. Accounts of his childhood describe a serious and solitary boy who was o?en at odds with his parents and his ?ve siblingsalthough his younger brother, Theo, adored him. A few weeks before his ??eenth birthday, Van Gogh le? school and soon became an apprentice at an art dealership, Goupil and Co., where his uncle (also named Vincent) was a partial owner. Already a voracious reader, Van Gogh now devoted himself to the study of art and traveled to museums in Amsterdam and Antwerp to see masterpieces by Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Rubens. As a young boy, he had taken nature walks, collecting beetles and studying various species of birds, and he now applied the close looking skills he had developed to categorizing the thousands of images he encountered in the Goupil stockrooms. Although Van Gogh relished the opportunity to study art closely, he struggled with interpersonal relationships and was transferred ?rst to London and then to Paris.1876. Spurred by deep religious fervor, he traveled to a downtrodden area of Belgium to work as an
evangelist among the local coal miners. His failure was apparent a?er just a few years, however, and in 1880, on the verge of a breakdown, he decided to devote himself to painting. Van Gogh moved ?rst to Brussels and then to The Hague to study art, taking painting lessons from Anton Mauve, a leading Dutch realist artist and his cousin by marriage. In the fall of 1883 he traveled to the northeastern province of Drenthe and ?nally returned to his family's home, now in the town of Nuenen in Brabant,in 1884. He resolved to be a painter of peasant life, inspired in part by Mauve, the French artists Jules
Breton, Jean-François Millet, and Honoré Daumier, and the Dutch painter Jozef Israëls.Vincent van Gogh, Self-Portrait,

About the Artist
Van Gogh and Millet
in the Borinage, a coal-mining region in the south of Belgium, and was supported by his close study of works by Breton, Millet, and Daumier. These artists, grouped under the umbrella of Realism," rejected the academic tradition of painting beautifully modeled ?gures from mythology or antiquity. Instead, they took as their subject maffer images from contemporary life. Whereas the Realist novelist Émile Zola focused on the lives of modernParisian women in Au bonheur des dames
and Millet worshipped" the peasant. Millet, born to a farming family in 1814, painted scenes that monumentalized the life of the community in which he had grown up: men and women baking, hauling well water, winding wool, sowing seeds, or harvesting crops. Van Gogh called himself a painter of peasant life," and his ?rst submission to the Salon, an annual contemporary art exhibition, was The Potato Eaters a family eating a humble dinner in their darkened hut, lit only by a lamp hanging from the ceiling. Van Gogh's aim, like Millet's, was to honor what he saw as the honesty of manual labor. Van Gogh was so moved by the works of Millet (many of which he owned in reproduction) that he later created a series of copies a?er his works, interpreting the compositions in his own style. One must paint the peasants as if being one of them, as feeling, thinking as they do themselves.

A major port city, Antwerp provided Van Gogh with access to a wide variety of art, including Japanese woodblock prints, which he began to collect.Van Gogh and Japanese Prints

in the wake of the 1878 World's Fair in Paris, which featured a Japanese pavilion, but many avant-garde artists had begun collecting inexpensive Japanese ukiyo-e prints as early as the 1860s. These woodblock prints of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Japan featured Kabuki actors, geishas, landscapes, and scenes of contemporary life. Van Gogh painted copies of some of these prints, translating the printed images into his own signature style of brushstrokes. He also found inspiration for his work in the prints' use of broad planes of color, thick black lines, and unusual compositional choices.About the Artist

Valadon, and Co.), Van Gogh moved to Paris in 1886. Through Theo, he experimented with Impressionist painting and met the new generation of artists living in Montmartre. Some of these artists, such as Paul Signac and Georges Seurat, as well as Camille Pissarro and his son, Lucien, were developing a new style of Impressionism, dubbed Neo-Impressionism by the critic FelixFénéon. Others, such as Paul Gauguin, Émile Bernard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, built on the
innovations of previous generations to create their own individual styles. Van Gogh soon began to paint with broken brushstrokes and vivid contrasts of complementary colors, reŌecting his interest in contemporary color theory. His work also demonstrates theinŌuence of the expressive, graphic quality of Japanese prints. He translated these elements into a
distinctive style, based on thick layers of impasto paint with undulating rhythms.About the Artist

to Theo for the clarity of light, vivid colors of landscape, and rustic lifestyle he found there. Arles
was an escape from the bustle of Paris and provided a calmer environment in which to paint. Van Gogh hoped to create an artists' community there, a so-called Studio of the South." He rented a dilapidated four-room house painted yellow (which he called the Yellow House") and invited other artists to join him. Paul Gauguin accepted his invitation and arrived in Arles in late October. The two artists had dierent approaches to painting: Van Gogh preferred to paint from life and to lavish his canvases with thick layers of paint applied at a feverish pace, while Gauguin championed painting from one's imagination and applied his paint more sparingly and methodically. Gauguin was already enjoying critical success in Paris, which continued to elude Van Gogh. A?er only two months of living and working together, the two men had a major falling out, which culminated in the infamous incident in which Van Gogh cut o part of his ear. It was also at this time that Theo announced his engagement to Johanna Bonger. The concurrence of the two events likely roused feelings of abandonment in the already-fragile VanGogh. His previous baffles with mental instability were coupled with his increasing abuse of alcohol,
especially absinthe. He spent the next few months in and out of the hospital in Arles, sometimes in an isolation cell. In the spring of 1889, Van Gogh voluntarily commiffed himself to an asylum in Saint-Rémy, a town ??een miles north of Arles. He stayed there for a year, telling Theo that the steady schedule gave him peace. He continued to paint: views of the surrounding countryside including Starry Night courtyard, and a number of penetrating self-portraits. The painter of the future will be a colorist such as has never yet existed.About the Artist

under the care of Dr. Paul Gachet at Auvers-sur-Oise, where he continued to paint with great fervor. However, he continued to suer psychological affacks, and, in July, he apparently shot himself in the chest, dying a few days later with Theo at his side.Theo resolved to ensure his brother's legacy as an artist, but his own ill health overtook him, and he
